How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Seems like the issue is related to Aapt 2.

Put

android.enableAapt2=false

In your gradle.properties file and it fixes the issue for me.

Answer 2

I have the same issue.

put

android.enableAapt2=false

AAPT2. We are continuing to stabilize AAPT2 which enables incremental resource processing. If your build fails due to resource processing issue, please send us a bug report. To temporarily disable AAPT, set android.enableAapt2=false in your gradle.properties file. Roboelectric is currently not compatible with AAPT2
